I used the wee 261 to drop and limb up plumb tree in section...my good wife used the 025 drop saw set up to convert them limbs into pile of firewood......man it makes life easy when you have a helper working alongside you.
Help me out, was set on getting a good wood saw, stihl 500i.
Used a husky 562xp today and started to doubt myself???
Not surprising really
The husky is the better machine for the casual user in firewood, once you go up in CC rating it takes an experienced mind with technique and muscle to match to realise any increase that a larger saw brings to the table.

great to see someone using mitt, should be standard issue equipment
Does the mitt lock your hand to the handle

It keeps your left hand where it is supposed to be on a chainsaw....
A mitt pretty much gives the chain break mechanism the best chance of working in case of kickback. The guy who taught me felling had 30 years of experience in forestry and siviculture, he would not let anyone touch a saw without a mitt. It's just something that stuck with me.
Not lock it but it means your hand can't easily slip off the handle, it also providesprotection from pointy twigs and things
How does it keep your hand where it is supposed to be?
